Manufacturing Manufacturing basically implies making of goods or articles and providing services to meet the needs of mankind. Manufacturing process Manufacturing is the process of turning raw materials or parts into finished goods through the use of tools, human labor, machinery, and chemical processing.
Classification of manufacturing processes
Principles of Casting The casting process is the manufacturing process in which molten material such as metal is poured into the casting cavity or mold of the desired shape and allowed to harden or solidify within the mold , after solidification the casting is taken out by ejecting or by breaking the mold.
Casting Terminology • Pattern : An approximate duplicate or true replica of required product of casting Flask/Box: The rigid metal or a wooden frame that holds the moulding material Cope: Top half of the moulding box Drag: Bottom half of the moulding box Core: As and shape that is inserted into a mould to produce internal features of a casting such as holes. Gating System: Channels used to deliver the molten metal to the mould cavity Sprue: The vertical passage in the gating system Runner: The horizontal channel of the gating system Gate: Channel which connects runner and mould Riser : A vertical opening in the mould Act as a vent for gases Helps to confirm that the mould is completely filled Act as a reservoir of molten metal to feed and compensate for shrinkage during solidification of a casting

Forming Forming is a mechanical process used in manufacturing industries wherein materials (mostly metals) undergo plastic deformations and acquire required shapes and sizes by application of suitable stresses such as compression, shear and tension.
Types The type of Forming Operations is as follows Rolling Forging Extrusion Wire Drawing Roll forming Stamping
Rolling
Rolling Roll forming is a continuous process which converts sheet metal into an required shape using consecutive sets of mated rolls, each of which makes only incremental changes in the form . The sum of these small changes in form is a complex profile. The Forming Process.
Forging Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces . The blows are delivered with a hammer or a die . Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging, warm forging, or hot forging .
Extrusion Extrusion is a metal forming process in which metal or work piece is forced to flow through a die to reduce its cross section or convert it into desire shape . This process is extensively used in pipes and steel rods manufacturing. The force used to extrude the work piece is compressive in nature.
Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce the cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through a single, or series of, drawing die(s). Wire Drawing
Roll forming Roll forming is a continuous process which converts sheet metal into an engineered shape using consecutive sets of mated rolls, each of which makes only incremental changes in the form. The sum of these small changes in form is a complex profile. The Forming Process.
Stamping Stamping is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape.
Welding processes Welding is a process of joining similar or dissimilar metals by application of heat with or without application of pressure and addition of filler material OR Welding is defined as an localized coalescence of metals, where in coalescence is obtained by heating to suitable temperature, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the use of filler metal.

Classification of Welding Process
TYPES OF WELDING JOINTS Welded joints
CLASSIFICATION OF WELDING PROCESSES: Gas welding(Oxy- Acetylene) Arc welding(Metal Arc) Resistance welding Solid state welding Thermo-chemical welding
Gas Welding: Gas Welding is a fusion welding process, in which the heat for welding is obtained by the combustion of oxygen and fuel the gas may be acetylene ,hydrogen or propene . Types: Oxy- Acetylene Air -Acetylene Oxy-Hydrogen Oxy-Fuel
Oxy-Acetylene Welding: When a combination of Oxygen and acetylene is used in correct proportions to produce an Intense gas flame, the process is known as oxy-acetylene welding.
Equipment : (Red)
Gas Welding Equipment : 1. Gas Cylinders Pressure- Oxygen – 125 kg/cm2 Acetylene – 16 kg/cm2 2. Regulators Working pressure of oxygen 1 kg/cm2 Working pressure of acetylene 0.15 kg/cm2 Working pressure varies depends upon the thickness of the work pieces welded. 3. Pressure Gauges 4. Hoses 5. Welding torch 6. Check valve 7. Non return valve
Neutral Flame: Carburizing Flame: Oxidizing Flame: There are three basic flame types: Neutral Flame (balanced) Oxidizing (excess oxygen) and Carburizing (excess acetylene) Types of flames in gas welding
Advantages: Portable and most versatile process. Better control over the temperature. Suitable to weld dissimilar matter. Low cost & maintenance. Disadvantages: Not suitable for heavy section. Less working temperature of gas flame. Slow rate of heating.
Arc Welding: “Arc welding is a fusion welding process in which the heat required to fuse the metal is obtain from the electric arc between the base metal and an electrode. Types: Metal Arc Welding Submerged Arc Welding Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Metal Inert Gas Welding
Equipment: A welding generator (D.C.) or Transformer (A.C.) Two cables- one for work and one for electrode Electrode holder Electrode Protective shield Gloves Wire brush Chipping hammer Goggles
Metal Arc Welding : Uses an electric arc to coalesce metals Arc welding is the most common method of welding metals Electricity travels from electrode to base metal to ground
ARC WELDING The arc welding is a fusion welding process in which the heat required to fuse the metal is obtained from an electric arc between the base metal and an electrode. The electric arc is produced when two conductors are touches together and then separated by a small gap of 2 to 4 mm , such that the current continues to flow, through the air. The temperature produced by the electric arc is about 4000°C to 6000°C. 47
Effects of Polarity The process may use direct current electrode positive, direct current electrode negative or alternating current. The chart above indicates the operating characteristics of each of these current types. DCEN or “ straight polarity ” is used for welding most materials other than aluminum. The electrode tip geometry is generally a sharp point with a small blunted end since most of heat balance is on the melting of the base material. DCEP or “ reverse polarity ” is rarely used since it results in low penetration. Also, the constant bombardment of the tungsten electrode by electrons in the DCEP mode degrades the electrode. Alternating current is used primarily to weld aluminum, which has a tenacious oxide surface layer. Although the diagram above states that there is a 50% cycle from DCEN to DCEP, it is possible through solid-state electronics to vary the amount of time at each polarity and also the current at each polarity.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Arc Welding Advantages Most efficient way to join metals Lowest-cost joining method Affords lighter weight through better utilization of materials Joins all commercial metals Provides design flexibility Disadvantages Manually applied, therefore high labor cost. Need high energy causing danger Not convenient for disassembly. Defects are hard to detect at joints.
Applications: It is used in the manufacture of automobile bodies. Aircraft Frames Railway Wagons Machine Frames Structural works, tanks, furniture, boilers, general repair work and ship building etc.

Application of Manufacturing Processes
Machining: The Machining Process can be classified into: Chip Removal Process Non-Chip Removal Process (Chip less Process)
Machining In Machining processes in which raw material is cut into a desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process. Example: Turning, Drilling, Milling etc. Metal cutting is “the process of removing unwanted material in the form of chips , from a block of metal, using cutting tool”.
Chip Removal Process: In chip removal process the layers of metal from the parent metal (work piece) separated in the form of chips to obtain the required dimension and shape. In this process, a compressive force is applied to shear off the material in the small pieces known as chips .
Chip Removal Process: Turning Drilling Milling Shaping Slotting Grinding Honing The various chip removal processes are as follows:
Turning: Turning is the machining operation that produces cylindrical parts. In Turning a cutting tool with a single cutting edge is used to remove material from a rotating work piece to generate cylindrical shape.
Drilling Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool , often multi-point .
Boring: Boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled by means of a single-point cutting tool .
Milling: Milling is a cutting process that uses rotary milling cutters to remove material by advancing the cutter into a work piece.
Shaping, planning and slotting: Shaping, planning and slotting can be defined as the process of removing metal from a surface in horizontal, vertical and inclined position to produce a flat or plane surface , slots and grooves by means of a relative reciprocating motion between the tool and work piece.
Abrasive machining: Abrasive machining is a machining process where material is removed from a work piece by using abrasive particles. Abrasive Machining Process can be divided into 2-categories. Grinding , Honing Bonded abrasive process (or) Fixed Loose abrasive process Polishing, Lapping
Grinding: Grinding is an abrasive machining process that uses a grinding wheel as the cutting tool. Grinding is used to finish work pieces that must show high surface quality and high accuracy of shape and dimension .
Honing: Honing is an abrasive machining process that produces a precision surface on a metal work piece by scrubbing an abrasive grinding stone or grinding wheel against it along a controlled path.
Lapping: Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them , by hand movement or using a machine.
Non-Chip Removal Process (Chip less Process): Required form and dimension obtained by without removing material from work pieces. Force is applied to change the shape of the material. Forging Rolling Spinning Stamping and Embossing etc..
Introduction to CNC machines Computer numerical control (CNC) is a manufacturing method that uses preprogrammed computer software to automate the control, movement, and precision of machine tools . CNC is commonly used in manufacturing for machining metal and plastic parts. CNC uses a dedicated microcomputer as the machine control unit . The computer software is embedded inside the tools. The tools are operated by precisely programmed commands encoded on a storage medium. CNC is used to operate tools such as: Drills, Lathes, Mills, Grinders, Routers, 3D printers. CNC is most effective for: High feature accuracy Increased productivity Higher quality finishes Cutting intricate details Machining complex shapes
The benefits of CNC are high accuracy in manufacturing, short production time, greater manufacturing flexibility, simpler fixturing, contour machining (2 to 5 -axis machining), reduced human error. The drawbacks include high cost, maintenance, and the requirement of a skilled part programmer. Advantages and Limitations

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit . What is the working principle of IC engine? Internal Combustion engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston. The expanding combustion gases push the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft. Ultimately, through a system of gears in the powertrain, this motion drives the vehicle's wheels
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES Classification of IC Engines: The IC engines are classified based on the following parameters. According to the type of fuel used ( i ) Petrol Engine (ii) Diesel Engine (iii) Gas Engine According to the method of Ignition ( i ) Spark Ignition (SI) Engine (ii) Compression Ignition (CI) Engine According to the number of strokes per cycle of operation ( i ) Two stroke Engine (ii) Four stroke Engine According to the thermodynamic cycle ( i ) Otto Cycle (ii) Diesel Cycle (iii) Dual Combustion cycle According to the number of cylinders used (i) Single cylinder engines (ii) Multi cylinder engines According to the type of cooling system ( i ) Air cooled engine (ii) Water Cooled engine
2 Stroke Engine
2 stroke engine Compression stroke In the compression stroke, the inlet port will be opened making the air and fuel mixture enter the compression chamber. The piston will moves to top position Here when the piston moves upwards, the mixture of fuel and air compression starts. At the end of this process, a spark will ignite the fuel and begin the power stroke process. Power stroke In the power stroke, the fuel will be burnt and the gas will be exerted at high pressure causing the piston to move downwards. The heat which is wasted will be emitted from the exhaust valve.
4 Stroke Engine
The four piston strokes are Intake Compression Ignition Exhaust
The four piston strokes Intake Compression Ignition Exhaust
The four piston strokes are Intake In this intake stroke, in the cylinder which is fixed part, the piston will moves from top position (TDC top dead center) to down position (BDC bottom dead center) Intake value will be open Exhaust value will be closed The piston which moves downwards will create a vacuum that sucks the fuel and air inside the engine through the intake valve which is opened in this process. Compression stroke: In this compression stroke, the piston will now moves from down position (bottom dead center BDC) to top position (TDC top dead center) Intake value will be closed Exhaust value will be closed The piston which moves upwards will compress the sucked fuel and air (in the intake process) inside the combustion chamber. In this process, a spark of fire will be ignited.
The four piston strokes are Power stroke: The spark fire which happens in the compression stroke will ignite the air and fuel. This ignition will force the piston to move back downwards, making the vehicle wheel to rotate forward. In this power stroke, the piston will now moves from top position (top dead center TDC) to bottom position (BDC bottom dead center) Intake value will be closed Exhaust value will be closed. Exhaust stroke In this exhaust stroke, the piston will now moves from down position (bottom dead center BDC) to top position (TDC top dead center) Intake value will be closed Exhaust value will be opened This is the final process where the gas will be released through the exhaust valve of the cylinder. After completion of this process the piston is now ready for the intake process.
Differences/Difference Between Two Stroke And Four Stock Engine Four stroke engine Two stroke engine In a four stroke engine to complete the four stroke process it requires two complete revolutions. In a two stroke engine to complete the two stroke process it requires one complete revolution. The four piston strokes are * Intake * Compression * Ignition * Exhaust The two stroke are Compression stroke Power stroke Inlet valve and exhaust valve Inlet port and exhaust port Combustion of fuel is full Combustion of fuel is not full High thermal efficiency and less smoke Low thermal efficiency and high smoke Exhaust gas removed easily Exhaust gas removed is difficult Engine weight is high for per hp because the flywheel is high Engine weight is comparatively less for per hp Low torque High torque Tough to manufacture and engines are costlier due to lubrication and valve. Simple to manufacture and engines are cheap More wear and tear happens because of poor lubrication Wear and tear are less Speed can be varied from high to low High speed engine are mostly available Operates in only one direction Operates in both direction (anti clockwise direction and clockwise direction)
Application of two stroke and four stroke engine Four stroke engine Two stroke engine Automobiles like cars, trucks and some bikes which uses fuel like gasoline, aircraft Chainsaws, motorcycles, racing applications, weed eaters, military tanks, ships. In four stroke engine are lubricated by oil so not flexible in cold temperature In a two stroke oil sump is not in design hence it can be easily started in cold conditions. High expensive and low noisy Less expensive and more noisy
Otto cycle The Otto cycle, which was first proposed by a Frenchman, Beau de Rochas in 1862, was first used on an engine built by a German, Nicholas A. Otto, in 1876 . The cycle is also called a constant volume or explosion cycle . This is the equivalent air cycle for reciprocating piston engines using spark ignition. The following is the P-V diagram which represents all the processes. T1—Temperature of the charge at point 1 T2—Temperature of the charge at point 2 V1—Volume of the charge at point 1 V2—Volume of the charge at point 2 ϒ – Compression ration ( V2/V1) At the start of the cycle, the cylinder contains a mass M of air at the pressure and volume indicated at point 1. The piston is at its lowest position. It moves upward and the gas is compressed isentropically to point 2. At this point, heat is added at constant volume which raises the pressure to point 3. The high-pressure charge now expands isentropically , pushing the piston down on its expansion stroke to point 4 where the charge rejects heat at constant volume to the initial state, point 1.
Diesel cycle Diesel Cycle This cycle, proposed by a German engineer, Dr. Rudolph Diesel to describe the processes of diesel engine, is also called the constant pressure cycle. The P-V diagram is shown in Fig. Process 1-2: (Adiabatic compression ) At condition 1, the piston is at lower end position and air filled in the cylinder. Then the piston is moved from lower end position to upper end position 2 there by adiabatically compressed Process 2-3: Constant pressure heat addition Here in this process, some heat is added to the compressed air at constant pressure. Process 3-4 : Adiabatic expansion In this process, air at condition of high pressure and temperature expands adiabatically on its own and does mechanical work by pushing the piston to lower end positions. Process 4-1 : ( Constant volume heat rejection ) So in the process 4-1, a heat sink comes in contact with cylinder head and air rejects its heat at constant volume. Its pressure and temperature drops to the same initial values P 1 and T 1 .

Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning cycles Refrigeration is a process of removal of heat from a space and transferring the same to the surrounding environment. It is identified that the spoilage of food and many other items reduces at a lower temperature. At a lower temperature, molecular motion slows down and the growth of bacteria that causes food spoilage also retards . Thus to preserve many types of perishable food products for a longer duration, temperature of the food products has to be maintained at low temperature.
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning cycles Air Conditioning Air conditioning is the process of simultaneous control of temperature, humidity, cleanliness and air motion. Ex: Car air conditioning / Room Air conditioning Depending upon the requirement, air conditioning is divided into the summer air conditioning and the winter air conditioning . In the summer air conditioning, apart from cooling, moisture should also be removed, whereas in the winter air conditioning, space is to be heated along with the addition of moisture to the space to be conditioned. The summer air conditioning thus uses a refrigeration system and a dehumidifier. The winter air conditioning uses a heat pump and a humidifier. Further depending upon the comfort of the human beings and the control of environment for the industrial products and processes, air conditioning can also be classified as comfort air conditioning and industrial air conditioning. Comfort air conditioning deals with the air conditioning of residential buildings, offices spaces, cars, buses, trains, airplanes, etc . Industrial air conditioning includes air conditioning of the printing plants, textile plants, photographic products, computer rooms, etc.,
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning cycles Simple Vapour Compression Refrigeration System It consists of the following essential parts: Compressor The low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant from evaporator is drawn into the compressor through the inlet or suction valve A, where it is compressed to a high pressure and temperature. This high pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant is discharged into the condenser through the delivery or discharge valve B. Condenser The condenser or cooler consists of coils of pipe in which the high pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant is cooled and condensed. The refrigerant, while passing through the condenser, gives up its latent heat to the surrounding condensing medium which is normally air or water. High-pressure A B
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning cycles Simple Vapour Compression Refrigeration System Receiver The condensed liquid refrigerant from the condenser is stored in a vessel known as receiver from where it is supplied to the evaporator through the expansion valve or refrigerant control valve. Expansion Valve It is also called throttle valve or refrigerant control valve. The function of the expansion valve is to allow the liquid refrigerant under high pressure and temperature to pass at a controlled rate after reducing its pressure and temperature. Some of the liquid refrigerant evaporates as it passes through the expansion valve, but the greater portion is vaporized in the evaporator at the low pressure and temperature Evaporator An evaporator consists of coils of pipe in which the liquid- vapour . Refrigerant at low pressure and temperature is evaporated and changed into vapour refrigerant at low pressure and temperature. In evaporating, the liquid vapour refrigerant absorbs its latent heat of vaporization from the medium (air, water or brine) which is to be cooled.
